And PeteMoss, isn't that exactly the type of deal that Burke was talking about making? We have the cap space so you take on a contract for other benefit? Other GMs made happen those deals Burke talked about. How is that possible when the Jedi master in Calgary couldn't get them done? Could it be they compromised and took the best deal that was there rather than being left with nothing? And when I say nothing, I mean a player that has refused your overtures to signing an extension.

Apparently they were in on a 3 way deal where they were going to take another team's salary but it fell through on the other end.
